- Indian culture shock vs Netherlands. India is one of the most intense countries to visit in the world. But at the same time growing up in the Netherlands Dutch culture gave me plenty of culture shocks too. About 2 years ago I left the Netherlands and since then I'm building a new life here in India. Every day I discover new things about Indian culture, which is the complete opposite of the things that are considered normal in the Netherlands. I love learning new things though because I'm a curious person. In that way I also love sharing my experiences with other people and opening their eyes on how things can be done so differently all over the world. Today I'm comparing Indian culture shock vs the Netherlands so in case you visit you know what to expect.

Q (Why) Are you vegetarian?
A I'm vegetarian but not strict. I don't eat any meat, fish, cooked/boiled or fried eggs. I gradually became a vegetarian over the course of 15 years because I disliked the taste of meat more and more. After doing a yoga teacher training in 2015 I also quit fish and the eggs. No matter my food preferences I have no issues with other people not being vegetarian. I don't judge others and kind of expect the same favor from others concerning my own food preferences. It makes for a more friendly world :-)
Q Why do you usually travel alone?
A Because my friends have jobs with limited holidays, kids and partners. Also I really like exploring on my own.

@Miss Sarcastic sounds really really cool...hope to go yes indeed
When we traveled to India last year we had to use the hospital system we found it to be top notch and very quick. People we tell about our experience in the hospitals in India seem very surprised by our experience. I think they think India is backward but they couldn’t be more wrong.
So happy to hear that and yes people have so many prejudices haha
Thanks 😊
What is the criteria of being backward?
India was the richest, wealthiest country till 1800 before European started invading and looting India.
Europeans accidentally reached Americas during searching for shortest sea route to India because the main land route and sea route became expensive because of huge taxes by Islamic empires in between.
Why Europeans were desperate to search shortest route to India!
Because India was manufacturing almost everything till that time .
India was in her classical Era in 9th century but Islamic invasions started temples , universities and libraries were destroyed by invaders.
India is knowledge civilization of the world .
Many mathematics, scientific , medicinal, philosophical work is attributed to Indian civilization.
Christian Europe dark ages removed only because they started to come to India .
They took books from India , translated them studied them and Galileo, Newton sort of people started to emerge.
Europe consider its origin from Greek civilization and that Greek civilization only have 30,000 manuscripts that too mostly translation of Indian ancient knowledge works but India even after destruction of universities and libraries still have more than 10 million manuscripts.
Conservatism was alien to India .
Conservatism is the result of 1000 years of Islamic and European Victorian Christian rule in India.
Europeans today think they are modern, liberal , rich etc but these things was existed in Europe even 100 years back.
chandan sinha I know that it isn’t backward I have seen how fantastic India is first hand, it’s the naive people that haven’t been there that think it is backward.
Tejasvi Josh I’m not saying it’s backward, I love India. But some people I have talked who have never been there think this.
You will never Explore whole india for sure in this life
India is mysterious country
Full of surprises
"Unity in diversity" is the think you always see in India. ☮️✌️
Glad to hear that medial care in India is so good.
Hi Ivana, I enjoyed your comparisons. The Netherlands culture is on par with the UK in most examples that you gave. I do enjoy the Indian way of life and I can see why you chose to live there and I can't wait to spend more time in Indian.
That's so cool to hear!
I m 90's kid. & i still love dutch band "Vengaboys".❤️❤️❤️
The bank thing is due to various reasons. Like black money parking issues.. money laundering, terror funding... Etc... That's why banks enquire that much...
The security is big in India cause we hv became victims of terror attacks n number of times. Also we r in welcoming nature hence got looted by invaders thousand times in old times
This is the perfect answer
80% population hinduism in india 54-50% totally vegitarion 30 eat few types of meat like fish, Egg, also some chicken.
Very less meat only one time in one month .🤔👍👍.
80% Really 😱.....No😑
Its not now.....Huge conversions and other uncontrolled population growth of muslims....etc
Its Less now another census gonna reveal the same....

What you said is true...but no, the next census is not gonna turn up with anything of that sort....if u get my point....

Saree is officially professional dress in India.
*traditional*
Yes - only men are not so lucky here!
@@chaitisen1724 saree is professional, only in corporate offices formal dress are allowed, but in schools, collages, offices, govt. Jobs, flights all have saree as professional dress.
Loving these sit down videos 🙌🦋
So happy to hear that! I'm really enjoying them too😊

Data Privacy is an Actual Thing! Dont just cover up your body. Cover your information too.
Nope its needed for security

This bitch doin extra here STFU
😂😂😂
We loose the caring attitude and helping hands if we care about privacy.
Rightly said. In India we can get appointment and meet the doctor easily. .. I was surprised when when one of my friend from Korea made an appointment to meet a doctor one or two months ahead... That was something new for me as an Indian.
thanks To intrest in indian culture lot's of love from india❤❤❤❤
Ur new home India Bangalore 😘😘😘😘🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳😍
I love the point you made about Indian clothing, especially for women. I was in India for 4 months in 2009 and the colors and designs and jewelry were a feast for my eyes. I even took to wearing salwar kameez (suits) and even saris ( a few times ). When I returned back to the States, the clothes seemed so blah. Everything utilitarian and black, gray or brown. I still incorporate more colors into my wardrobe after this experience. I hope Indians don't copy the western world and lose all this beauty in the future. I think the younger generation are quite fond of wearing western clothing now.
Sooo agree and completely relate to your experience! Love wearing a salwar kameez too
@Akarsh For sure, you are right!
Hi the ceremonies that are performed when opening a shop or an office or even buying a new car are not necessarily religious. It is taking out the negative energy and mantras bring in the good thoughts and energy into the building or car. The concept of Hinduism is more a way of life than religious aspects.
This is a good video. I’m from Bangalore and I visited Netherlands this June. It was mind blowing. I too experienced the cultural differences. In Holland people are warm and friendly. And yes, privacy is something that really caught my eyes. 😊 People are unique in their own way. That is something that I loved ! ❤️ Love to visit again ✌️
So happy to hear you had a good time!!!
I treat my jobless friends almost every week... that's how being generous and Indian...
Keep it up
You are expressing the exactly you are facing and this reliefs us and you are a amazing person .Thanks
U r really ...really........I have no words to explain. ....mind blowing. ..beautiful heart...Beautiful mind.....😙
Hi! Actually the west is pretty invasive as well to non westerners. The schengen visa used to visit Europe requires one to submit bank statements for 3 months, income proof, travel and hotel itinerary for your entire stay, letters of invitation form the host country, letter from your employer giving you permission to travel etc. :)
True and I had to submit that for my Indian visa too. But if I want to open up a bank account this is all not necessary so it's more about daily life services rather than travel
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial Ha, true. I live in the US, and I will have to give out social security number, which pretty much has all my details, stuff I wouldn't know about me to open a bank account! Haha! I am guessing it's a lot easier in the Netherlands? Love love Amsterdam btw!
Oh wow! Yeah the Netherlands truly is easier. They do need some documents but not complete transactions and total sums of your accounts🙈
If your connected to Internet in anyway in any country ,say good bye to Privacy .
My bank account here in Belgium is linked with my national Identity card here...which actually has all the info about me, from my date of birth to my income...and dont know what more! But then, they dont have access to my bank transactions, or how small my house is, or how big my garden is! lol
Your experience look always convincing in every videos .
Thanks!
Wow! So true about India. Hope your dad is ok.
This is the most accurate video till date. I am glad you have not dramatised every aspect. Loads of Love.
I agree with you about the Costumer sarvis of india
But when you for the hospitality of people when they are invited you to there home at this time they will do everything to make yourself comfortable and they would do everything to make you feel special it's just amazing to explore people specially for me I love it.
And personally for me I love to explore people like you....
Ivana I really loved ur travel vlogs. I was inspired u as single women traveller.. pls do travel vlogs, ur good at that...
Ur struggleling of love with ur father,,I love it ..I'm inspired ur care about father
I really love this channel. Because you see India from the Indian Lens, but not the western Lens. Many of the Westerners either love or hate because they forget that, every culture and country have their nuances and looking from their own biases and lenses will just wash out the beauty of another country.
I am very happy that all your views are very unbiased and wish India has more visitor like you, and as a Country, we develop for the better.
Enjoy your new home. "Athidi Devo bhava"
Even, in banks some random guy would peep in to you account screen on computer and say why don't you invest in such and such investment scheme.
They are not authorized to look into anyone's account.
Yes remember that time that happened to your dad:( glad he was taken care of good. Yes, the money thing is big cultural difference. Here in the states our money situ is very private. My parents always kept that private and would get very offended if you asked. Yes, the color thing and jewelry big difference to. Really agree with you.
I'm Indian and l very proud of borne in Indian🇮🇳👳
I just would like to say India welcomes everyone and I am very thankful to you for making video on india . Everyone must go and see India and its diversity .your vlog is so good and carry on this work.jai hind jai bharat
It's good to see you praising medical professionals and system here in India. But I am concerned about the future of Medical care in India. Violence against Doctors have sky-rocketed in India to a situation where A doctor has been beaten to death recently. If my country today don't learn to respect and value the talented medical professionals we have, I am afraid about the difficult times ahead. I also take this opportunity to request you too if any video or any post to raise awareness about the issue could be made because we immediately need to retrospect this. Thank you once again for the comparison :)
Actually you don't need to give out your mobile numbers to grocery stores. They should serve you without any name or phone info.
Also, Ola 🙄.
you can give any random number if cashier ask for number in grocery stores...but you will miss some offers during festive season.
Agree with all your detailed observations about India... Enjoy a great stay in this ancient & diverse land called INDIA!!
Very nice video and explained the truth as it is.. Keep up the good work
Ivana.. u r my favorite..
😊 And u r too too too cute..
I wish u great success and wish u r bestowed with everything u desire in life...
3:20 you can block those calls by giving application to service provider if they dont do it TRAI is there for help
i just shifted to Almere, Netherlands, just love this place so much and I am from Bangalore, I found this a bit different from India and came across this!
Very informative video. Nice details pointed out in an explanatory manner. Loved the video.
Dont get me started on OLA! Last month I was travelling to the other end of my city - a distance of 24 kms. They showed me a price of 380 rupees approx. I was like, okay cool. While getting down from the car, they told your bill is 1185 rupees. Why you ask? They told that your car went through some areas where demand was very high. So, your fare was "dynamically increased to adjust other fares of that area". After calling them next day, they were absolutely non-challant and rude. I wish them nothing but failure.
Whoa that's crazy!
Whoa that's crazy!

Just activate DND on ur number to stop receiving spam calls/sms.
She doesn't know much technology it seems. Mostly German or European people are little back dated when it comes to usage of latest technologies.
@FirstPerson ofcourse regulations will be different in different countries and everything has pros and cons. When in India most of the official communications are done through messages or emails, in Europe you will find everything is via letter. When you are too much into online banking you will have higher chances or spam and fraud. On other hand wasting so much of paper for each and every communication is not good for environment and also it's a very slow process. So it doesn't make any sense to have an opinion which is good and which is bad. This video talks a lot about that only and there I have a problem.
Thanks for your persistent service to India! You are more Indian than some of us! ♥️
thanx for advice..we will fix these issues you mentioned..
very good observation. i agree with the meat trends. its a terrible trend esppecially the younger generation indian conssidering meat eating as hip and rebelling against indian tradition. .The more exotic the meat the more they love it..
India have so many culture's from North to South from west to Northeast etc a super diverse country
Ya you right
Awesome comparison video iv
The 1st point is really reasonable. I never thought of it before.
2. Point is absolutely correct and should be considered if we want to compete globally.
Thanks for the feedback!
The best thing of this video is your HINDI .....in starting😂😂😂😍😍😍😍👌👌👌 I like it...the most...NAMASTE ma'am 🙏🙏🤗🤗and INDIA is origin of art of living.... that is *HINDUISM* and yes...here...more than half of Indians r Vegetarian (I m pure Vegetarian)....some r even Vegan...and non -veg is harmful to environment bcoz of its *CARBON FOOTPRINT*
*I Am Vegetarian, Bcz I try my best to abide by all Rules of My religion(Hinduism).I Wish Hindus may understand That Non-veg is not for us and should not be also*
V Laxmi what is wrong with people like you.. there is no written rule or law that Hindus cant non-veg
Its your personal choice not to eat non veg so keep it to yourself dont try to enforce others into quitting what they like
I agree beef is not for us because we worship cows... but that doesnt apply to any other non veg item

Dear to our country

I flatly refuse to give away my phone number at the grocery store. I had to go and complain to the corporate once when they insisted too much. Now they process my bill immediately after I refuse. Also I get a lot of spam calls too. I have started blocking the numbers and over a period of time calls have reduced.
It does not help that India does not have voicemail service. No need to pick unknown calls. Let them go to VM. Call back if important.
Whoa that's crazy!
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficialindeed!
why don't u give fake number...
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial : You can allow incoming calls and messages only from contacts, rest gets auto blocked. You can later check from the blocked call list and verify the number using TrueCaller app. True caller app also can be set as the default phone app.! If a spammer or scammer calls you, that number would be surely marked as Spam in Turecaller as other users must have done that.
Sharing your contact details is NOT compulsory for you, in malls or groceries. You will not be denied of any service or sell for not sharing contacts. Just be confident enough to say NO..simple.
Nice video as always. 💜🙏
Excellent..nicely narrated.. very realistic observations...keep posting more such clean stories
Whaa whaa again ivana back in action 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
For unwanted call u have to register your mobile number to Do Not Distribute (DND) for unwanted call it reduces call but not stop
Doctor & engineer in India have round a clock duty
For medical u or any one should have medical insurance if u r in india
For jainism its one step forward then vegetarian
Totally!
Nothing in this world is constant., everything changes.
So west is changing by following east and east is following west😄.
Btw i belong to 30% population of india that are pure vegetarian.
Love you all Nederland from india 🇮🇳
Wonderful discussion. Thanks.
I wonder what the word "intense" is euphemism for 😑😑😅😅
Supermarket ask phone number to aware u for the latest upcoming offer
Love your videos . God bless you. Keep smiling always.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your support
You are very straightforward person I guess and that what makes you special
Hi Ivan ji, Thanks for highlighting growing trend of non vegetarianism in India..
I would request you to make some educational videos on why West is heading towards veganism and it's advantages, as our Indian youth tries to imitate whatever West does.
Shame OLA, no wonder she has switched to UBER cabs now.
I have good experiences with both ola & uber, using ola more since 2014/15-used all over India
Very good video, you have really observed things and put here what you felt.
You are welcome in India always
Ola ola is very week in India
It's just getting worse and worse. So sad!
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial Ola has deteriorated , there services used to be good . I booked a Cab , the driver refused to come , he told me to cancel . And for that ola fined me . Stopped Ola after that
Hey 👋👋, so...
1) we indians normally don't really care about others bank transaction so there was really no need for privacy on transactions.....I mean policies are formed based on needs right.....and ya you need to be paranoid about phone number .... especially if you are a pretty girl 😂😂
2) customer service quality is based on various things like if they are being monitored or if they like the job or if it's their own business things like that ...... mostly the tele customer service are bad cuz people don't wanna sit in a place and listen to people whining ( which is basically what their job is 😂) so they don't care they're just here for the money 🤷♂️🤷♂️
3) med care here is the best ...... maybe a little lower quality compared to western standards .....it depends on the money 🤷♂️
4) religion .....you should do some research on Indian religions and their origin .....I am sure you will find it interesting
5 ) we just got bored of vegan 🤷♂️🤷♂️.....and we don't eat cows ( mostly )😂..... mostly chicken and fish
6 ) ya we stare when people show clevage and legs🤷♂️🤷♂️ ...... mostly cuz it's new and we are just adapting ......and you have to agree that if one girl is showing cleavage and legs between 1000 moderately dressed ......it's mostly cuz they're the exception of the norm .....like watching a clown walking in the streets......
Hahhaha that last remark is sooo on point!!!
Dear IV,
Your blog is a revelation. There are several "foreign" bloggers making content on India. Yours stands out for the amount of information, authenticity of it, and lack of bias there in. Subbing.
Best wishes and love from an Indian. Godspeed!
Thanks a lot... Miss
For such honest n unbiased review! Great
Did you know why they want to see everything from your bank statement because there is lots of people they are doing siber crime so the most government bank are very queries about there information so that before people do something wrong so they can catch them.. it's just about saty of people...
They needed my statements just for domestic address proof...what do my transactions have to do with address proof? I understand safety and had zero issues presenting my bank statements for the visa application but this was very strange
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial Ohh Thy needed just for domestic address proof that's really horrible
I think you face this thing just because you are foreigner...
One thing I feel about western countries that why do they wear so boring clothes in terms of colour like either white,grey,black that's it just three colours dominate the whole textile industry...I mean why not to wear different colours like in India when u do have so many colours. It's just my perspective I don't mean to offend but it looks boring and sad.
True! Scandanavian countries are the worst in clothing colours! Just grey, dark shades. If you want to see some vibrant colours, you have to go south to spain, Portugal or Italy.
I guess it's something to do with our culture and mentality. We dutch are a very egalitarian people, we don't want to stand out we prefer to blend in with the others. We also are extremely practical and love simplicity, so therefore our clothes have to be simple, practical, suited to all kinds of weather (especially rain) and unnoticable.
@@mariadebake5483
I believe your sense of egalitarian is not apt. and correlating it with colors.
There is no hierarchical values in colors, so no harm in trying out different colors.
@@kumarabhishek1064 I don't refer to colors, but to the fact that we don't want to stand out.
Just as you love India my love for Netherlands is endless. Let's see when can I land there.
Nice to see you describing the cultural differances in the Netherlands and India. As an Indian living in Belgium ( neighbour of the Netherlands), past many years...I totally agree with you about the healthcare system there in India is faster than here. Here I always have to make an appointment with my general medical practioner ? ( Huisdokter), then she/ he has to refer me to a specialist doctor in case of need. For example, for a dermatologist I had to wait 2 months before I got treatment for my skin allergy. I think, it is just due to lack of skilled to highly professionals here. Whereas in India, there plenty of docors, engineers, specialists, advocates, teachers, nurses and many more professonals.
Yuuup so true! You can't go to a specialist unless you have a referral from your general practitioner.
India is strange country... People like osho can come out from this land, all major tech giant companies has thier ceos as Indians.... Brain, logic is what mother nature has given to Indians... 🤔 I am probably also a victim of mother nature 😠🤔

In every states of India, you will see the difference in food, culture, language, dress etc.etc..so it's call india is a country United in diversity. In North East India you will get flavour of western feeling.

For guys its a treat to see girls in a saree (on special occasions especially)... It goes well with girls with long and dark hair - probably you could make a video out of it... Yourself trying different sarees that you come across in your journey over time...
